Calling out of Romania. From a landline there, start with 00, then the other country's code and number. From a mobile, + works everywhere.
Time in Romania. Romania is on GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer. Check the time before you call, especially for business numbers.
Freephone numbers start 0800. Premium-rate numbers start 0900, 0903 and 0906, and 0906 is set aside for adult entertainment.
Numbers starting 0801 are shared-cost, where the caller pays a local on-net tariff.
Ranges 37, 38 and 39 are national numbers that are not tied to any place, so they do not tell you where the caller is.
Number portability has worked since 2008 for landline, non-geographic and mobile numbers, so a prefix does not prove which network someone uses.
